Jason Castro exits third game of season with foot discomfort

Astros catcher Jason Castro, who was hit by pitches twice Thursday night, left the game after the fifth inning with discomfort in his right foot and ankle area.

Yankees righthander Ivan Nova drilled Castro with pitches in the first and third innings. Castro remained in the game and grounded into a double play in the bottom of the fifth, but he was replaced behind the plate by Carlos Corporan to start the sixth inning.

X-rays came back negative and Castro is listed as day-to-day with a right foot contusion.

Castro became the first Astros player to be hit by pitches twice in a game since current Tigers manager Brad Ausmus was hit twice on April 7, 2007, against the St. Louis Cardinals.
